Configuring Your ELS10-26

For ELS10-26 B, at the LCM prompt:

b.Type trunk 3-10,14-15 on

For ELS10-26 C, at the LCM prompt:

c.Type trunk 3-10 on

Each ELS10-26 determines which ports are part of which Trunk Group. After Trunk Group configuration, the ELS10-26s complete the standard 802.1D Spanning Tree state changes, treating each Trunk Group as a single 802.1D Spanning Tree port.

802.1D Spanning Tree takes about thirty seconds to resolve which ELS10-26 ports are to become forwarding ports. As ports within a Trunk Group become forwarding ports, traffic within the Trunk Group is momentarily halted to guarantee the first- in, first-out ordering of the Ethernet packets.

Note: The ELS10-26-to-ELS10-26 connections must be point-to-point. There cannot be any other devices on those Ethernets. The ports used for trunking can be in any order. However, both ends of the ELS10-26-to-ELS10-26 connections must have trunking turned on for the ports that are being used for the connections.

3.6 DISABLING TRUNKING

To turn off trunking, at the LCM prompt:

1.Type trunk <PORT-RANGE> off

For example, trunk 2-4 off

3-10
